- Strategies of ionoregulation in the freshwater nymph of the mayfly Hexagenia rigida
Summary: Freshwater mayfly nymphs regulate salt and water balance using the alimentary canal, Malpighian tubules and tracheal gills, and data provide the first direct evidence that the tracheal gills are ion transport organs.
- Ammonia excretion in mytilid mussels is facilitated by ciliary beating
Highlighted Article: The plicate organ of mytilid mussels is a main site for ammonia excretion, which is facilitated by Rh channels and ciliary beating.
